“It is particularly galling that King Soopers is making such false allegations given the Company’s own track record of being caught lying about illegal coordination agreements with its competitor Safeway/Albertsons during the 2022 ULP strike by UFCW Local 7 workers,” said Kim Cordova, President of UFCW Local 7, in a statement.

With a strike underway in several Front Range communities, King Soopers has sued the labor union that represents thousands of its employee.

Some shoppers are choosing not to cross the picket lines at the King Soopers stores where union workers are on strike.
